Messrs. Editors.-While visiting at the
home of Mr.. James Gregg, of Waterbury
Center. recently my attention was attrac-
ted to very large apple tree standing in
the yard, and upon speaking of it Mr..
Gregg said: L picked apples from under
that tree 65 years ago. We procured
line and square and took its dimensions.
1t measured, one foot from the ground,
and above the swell of the roots nine feet
and a half in circumference. There were
six branches. each branch as large as a
fair sized apple tree. Mr.. Gregg said
that it bore apples every year. ranging
from Is to 35 bushels yearly. One year
he sold $40 worth, keeping portion for
himself. He thinks the tree must have
borne nearly or quite 1000 bushels since
it commenced bearing. Mr.. Gregg said
there was one other tree in town equally |
as large in size and productiveness, one
year producing DO bushels of apples.
